Ron recently visited Chalk Church to take some reference photos and on his way home drove down Church Lane. As he passed Eastbrook Oast House he stopped and knocked on the door and asked to take some photos as he’d decided he would like to paint the oast house. The owner very kindly let Ron take photos from the garden. The reference photo on his iPad is below.

Ron has finished his painting in acrylics and he’s done a grand job, well done. What a great idea to have knocked on the owner’s door and it goes to prove there’s no harm in asking to take photos!
